It’s hard for me to pick a dead-on favorite, but I really love the season of autumn. There’s more than a few reasons for this – the calm, wet, crisp, reflective weather, the collage-like nature of all the different falling leaves, and finally, the excuse to stay inside and play more video games. But there’s another…

Nick’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles impressions
Oh man is this post long-overdue, but here goes: Like I last posted about, Nick’s new TMNT show premiered a few Saturdays ago on Nickelodeon in the US and on YTV here in Canada. I actually had to wait until Sunday (which was painful) to see the episodes since I bought the season pass on…
New TMNT show premiers in 2 DAYS!
That’s right! Two. Friggin’ days. I’m not sure if everyone is aware just yet, but Nickelodeon’s new Ninja Turtles animated series is debuting this Saturday on TV and on content providers like iTunes. This “new show” is a reboot of sorts, but it works on a different level than the previous TMNT 2003 animated series.…
Backloggin’ – 16/09/2012
Figured I should probably throw up a new backlog update post since it’s been almost over a month now since my last one, and I’ve made some good progress. Here’s how my stats are looking now: The thing I’ve been pretty good at lately is keeping myself far away from the temptation and allure of…
Backloggin’ – 19/08/2012
Oh yeah, big accomplishments since my last update. I knocked out the biggest and baddest contender on my backlog, which I’ll get into in a bit. But first… Hard Difficulty / ~3 hours played Rage (or is it RAGE? I can never tell with these stylized logos) is one of the few remaining FPS games…
Backloggin’ – 03/08/2012
Okay, so here I am for this week’s update, on-time and on-top of things! Ideally, I’d like to put out a weekly update Friday or somewhat close to Friday, but I know I won’t always be able to adhere to that. But, whatever. Here’s what I’ve been up to in video games. Time: ~26 hours…
Backloggin’ – 26/07/2012
Man, it’s been far too long since my last update – almost a whole month! I’ve been working a lot lately with my summer job and all, but I’ve still had time to play video games – just not as much as I’d like, ideally. Since it’s been so long though, I don’t think I…
Backloggin’ – 02/07/2012
The fantastic, statistical/social addiction that is The Backloggery continues to motivate me as I work through my collection of unfinished games. Seriously, I have never felt so compelled to finish every game I own. There is something so satisfying about changing a game from “unfinished” to “beaten” – or possibly even “complete” if enough time was…
In Defense of the Shooter Genre
Watch Dogs had me interested until the guns came out. Like, why is it always necessary? There was such a great buildup in hacking devices I thought that if there was combat it’d involve taking advantage of devices, almost in a puzzle solving way like Ghost Trick. Aren’t people tired of taking cover and shooting…
Max Payne 3’s campaign – how is it?
Max Payne 3 released yesterday on Steam, and I ended up playing and finishing the whole thing from when I got home until I went to bed. Yup, that good. It took me about 8 hours total, which was a similar length to the first game, actually – but nowhere near the 12 hour mark that…
